I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success.➥ I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a partner, presenting to a crowd, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.➥ I am a dependable and supportive collaborator who is a pillar of strength for his team. From the outset, I establish a tone of urgency and professionalism by setting clear expectations, getting everyone on the same page, encouraging transparent communications, and leading by example.☛ Key Skills ☚ ✦ Content Planning & Development✦ Multi-Channel Communications✦ Social/Public Advocacy ✦ Published Author ✦ Journalism Background✦ Lecturing & Teaching✦ Brand Development ✦ Civil & Human Rights ✦ Thought Leadership✦ Project & Program Leadership ✦ Team Development✦ Process Improvement✦ Government/Public Policy✦ Mentor/Coach/Facilitator✦ TEDx Speaker
